The 2024 edition of the Air Jordan 3 Retro OG 'Black Cement' revives an iconic colorway of the legacy silhouette. This release is true to the 1988 original, featuring a black tumbled leather upper with grey elephant print overlays at the forefoot and heel. An embroidered Jumpman in Fire Red graces the tongue, while a raised Nike Air logo decorates the back heel. The sneaker sits atop a white polyurethane midsole, fitted with visible Air-sole cushioning and accented with a splash of black along the heel. A grey rubber outsole provides durable traction underfoot.
Jordan 3
The Air Jordan 3, launched in 1988 and designed by Tinker Hatfield, revolutionized the sneaker industry with its visible Air-Sole unit, premium elephant print accents, and the debut of the iconic Jumpman logo. Its mid-top design provided a balance between comfort and support, while the standout elephant print gave it a luxurious edge. Michael Jordan famously wore the Air Jordan 3 during the 1988 Slam Dunk Contest, cementing its legendary status. Widely praised for its innovative style and performance, the AJ3 remains a favorite among sneaker collectors and basketball fans.
